doing something thats a creative pursuit ONLY for money would be an example of the wrong reasons...so if the ONLY reason an artist makes music is because they figure its easier than a day job, then fuck them...thats some bullshit...and what ive been saying in this thread is general, not in relation to i fight dragons really, so you can quit jumping back to them

on the risk of getting more and more off topic

so if you can get a job doing something you like doing and its easier for you than a normal day job its for the wrong reason?

so by this logic people who make a living doing soundtracks, foley, and most other sound realted work are doing it for the wrong reasons? 
they're doing it for a living not for arts sake?

problem is arts not going to pay the bills.  and by the time you're at the stage it will you've been around long enough you are viewed to have paid your dues.  rather a circular argument

you can make music for music's sake when you can afford it.  but most of us have bills, mortgages, kids, and all those other real life things.  if you can do something you enjoy and make a living doing it i can see nothing wrong with that.

attentive listeners will usually see that a mile off
